Long load times on splash screens

Featured Replies

I've recently experienced very long load times on splash screens. When starting the sim, it does update check and then sits on the intro screen before the main menu for a really long time.

Also, when ending a flight and trying to get back to the main menu, it takes a very long time to load and sometimes just hangs with the status bar at 100% and nothing else happening.

I've installed a few add ons recently (Fenix A320, ini's EGLL, LGAV, FSCTL)...would this cause this?

The more stuff in your community folder, the longer the load times. 

If you want to test this, just temporarily move your community folder or just rename it and time how long it takes to load MSFS. 

If you have a lot in your community folder, you can use a free program called Addons Linker that will allow you to turn on/off add-ons as you need them.

Some airplanes which use WASM gauges take a long time to load.  Mostly the big airliners but only after an update.  Tht PMDG takes me about 8 mins to load after every update - kinda annoying.  It's something to do with re-compiling the wasm gauges.

I installed iniBuilds EGLL and FSLTL yesterday and my sim now takes much longer to load in where as before it was pretty quick. I suspect FSLTL is the cause.

It's to be expected. As rickjake above has already said, the more you have in there the longer it takes and is also one of the reasons I use Addons Linker to make it easy to only have what I will use installed.

Use the Add On Linker program and only select the add-ons you will use for that session of MSFS,

As others have mentioned, the more add-ons in your Community folder, the longer the load time is for MSFS. Add On Linker can control the number of add-ons in your Community folder.

The issue I'm more concerned about is when I end a flight and press escape to return to the main menu, the splash screen takes forever to reach 100% but then it just sits there and doesn't go back to the main menu.

That is another symptom of you having reached the 1000 objects limit. Just as vanishing AI-Traffic.

Yes, Im in the same boat, in that my Simulator won’t return to the Main menu, when I hit the ESC button. I use AddonLinker, is it a case of setting,  so as each selection is below 1000 objects?

Look here:

 

It's happening recently to me also, but I know I'm pushing up the envelope on the number of add-ons concurrently installed in my CF recently, so, I'm sure it has to do with the high number of objects, models (FSLTL mainly), etc. that have to be loaded up by the sim during the start sequence

I always kill my internet on the checking for updates screen to skip to the main menu. 

I think its trying to talk to the Market Place when checking for updates.

I have reduced all my Liveries, scenery etc addons, in Addon Linker, and it seems to have solved the problem?

So as quoted before, keeping my addons below 1000.
